Product Summary
Ingredient callouts
- This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in "Pixi Beauty - On-the-Glow SuperGlow" it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (1.10% - 1.60%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.
A plant extract tha can have anti-oxidant properties, but evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking
A plant extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin, but is less potent than the extract from the seeds
A fruit extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties but evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking
The most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging
Can have some moisturizing properties due to its sugar content
A plant extract that might have some anti-inflammatory properties, but solid evidence is lacking. It can be irritating

What does the product description say?

Source: N/A
Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The emollients (diisostearyl malate, isododecane) can help soften the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks humectants that attract water. You might want to use a separate product with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin in addition (use before this product for the best results).
